    Chapter 674 Give Up On Tess?


    Hearing that, Julia’s eyes flickered with hurt, but mostly deep disappointment.


    “You!”

    She scolded Finn. “How many times have I told you? She’s gone. If you can’t change what happened, why keep holding on?”


    She continued, “If I had known you two would end up in such a mess<b>, </b>I never would have agreed to that old woman marrying Tess to you!”


    Right after Julia said it, Finn grabbed her sleeve tightly. “Don’t!”


    Julia turned back to him and saw the pain in his eyes.


    “How did our family end up with someone as stubborn as you?” she muttered, rubbing her forehead.


    Her chest rose and fell with anger.


    For once, Finn was silent. He lowered his head and didn’t say anything.


    “You really won’t give up on Tess?”


    Julia shot him a sharp look.


    Finn froze for a second. Then his eyes brightened, and he clutched her sleeve again, squeezing it almost to the point of ripping it.


    Julia rolled her eyes and yanked her sleeve free. “But when I took La to the hospital, I’m pretty sure I saw Abel too. And by the way they looked, he and Tess aren’t just simple friends.”


    She met Finn’s eyes, something unsaid lingering in her gaze.


    Finn’s brows furrowed. Just thinking about Abel brought a sh of resentment to his eyes.


    “Yeah.”


    He looked down. “Abel met Tess not long ago. From what I know, he’s pursuing her.”


    Even though Julia had already guessed it, hearing Finn say it made her so mad she almost fainted. “You’ve all lost your minds. Completely! The two brightest kids in the Shaws, both ready to fight over the same woman?”

    “She’s worth it,” Finn said.

    “Worth it my foot! I care about Tess and La too, sure. But I feel even worse for you, Finn. Just stop already.”


    Julia was so angry she even swore, throwing away her usual calm and gentle image.


    Seeing Finn standing there, silent and hurting, she walked in circles, nervous and upset. “Do they… does the family back in Kingnd know about this?”


    She red at him.


    “Maybe.”


    Julia let out a long breath, like she had argued about this in her mind


    many


    times.


    “Tess won’t forgive you, and Abel might be part of the reason. He’s the Shaws‘ heir. He and Tess don’t match perfectly in status, butpared to you, he still fits her better.”


    Hearing her


    say that made Finn look strangely lost.


    Julia gave him another re. “I’ll talk to the family tomorrow. If anything goes wrong for Abel, that will be your chance.”


    The tight look on Finn’s face slowly loosened. “Is … is that okay?”


    Julia snapped, “Okay? Of course not! But what else can we do? You’re the one who refuses to move on! What do you expect me to do–cut Tess in half so you and your nephew can each take one?<b>” </b>


    Her eyes were practically burning with anger.


    Finn felt a rush of emotion. He wanted to say something, but before he could, Julia had already stormed off.


    He lifted his head in a daze, but the hopelessness from before had disappeared.


    Evermount Heights.


    Tess had gone home early to stay with La. She held the little girl in her arms, curled up on the couch,zily scrolling through her tablet.


    She was checking the business news. With one swipe, the whole screen was filled with her

    “Tess bes the new heiress of the Larsons in Kingnd!”


    “Mrs. Larson shows up in Aetheris and publicly names Tess as heiress after years away!”


    “Tess handles the Reagens‘ usations. The Reagens publicly apologizes with their daughter!”


    Headline after headline popped up, and Tess couldn’t help smiling a little.


    All of this had taken so much out of her.


    Her thoughts wandered. She looked down at her wrist. The emerald bracelet glowed with a cool light.


    She turned it gently with her fingers, showing the faint blue glow on the inner side–soft, warm, and calming.


    So this was what it felt like to belong to the Larsons‘ legacy. Suddenly, all the things she once thought impossible were now easy to ovee.


    She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling as if she were floating on soft clouds.


    Back then, she had turned the offer down again and again–partly because she didn’t want the pressure, and partly because she wanted to seed on her own. But now, pushed by everything around her, she had finally epted it and jumped straight into bing the Larsons‘ heiress. And honestly, it felt pretty nice.


    With that thought, she unlocked her phone. Her chat with Olivia was on the screen.


    Olivia wrote, “Tess, since the media has already reported everything officially, maybe … you should move to Kingnd with La.


    <i>Kingnd</i><i>… </i>


    Tess’s eyes flickered for a second, but her first reaction was to refuse.


    Tess replied, “Grandma, I still have things to take care of in Aetheris. I can’t move to Kingnd for now.”


    The answer came right away.


    Olivia replied, “I know a bit about what you’re dealing with. It’s Henry and his people, isn’t it? If
